Martin, I'm not sure the NYC example is helping. You mentioned this was
discussed on the German mailing list--can you give some other examples from

For example, in New York City, there are five well-defined boroughs (which
coincide with counties, a sub-state-level division). Presumably these would

na, those would be the suburbs. Currently they are tagged as hamlets ;-)
Based on earlier discussions of place=suburb [1], I think it's good to start
